Excellent post. Would have left a comment on the original article but I'm not about to give permissions to a new app just to leave a comment. Please consider an alternate comment system.

Why does it require so many permissions?

"Access your data on all website Access your tabs and browsing history"

I hadn't seen that, thanks for the link.

When you reach a certain size, no amount of due diligence on your part can ensure that your changes aren't going to break something in some other part of the code base without automated tests. Do you think Google or Amazon gets by without unit tests?

It's interesting but I don't know if I agree with the conclusion that writing this small function in C would make maintenance too hard. How often do you expect to have to change it?

Hmm I remember seeing that video before. Extremely clever technology.

Looks very cool. There are a few typos littered throughout the page that the author should fix:

accessility -> accessibility maet -> met

I second the design comment. Extremely easy to jump in and start, no log-in bs, nothing to get in your way. The minimalist aesthetic is nice as well. If only I knew how to play chess..

Someone named Alex posted a good rebuttal to the hash function example. Very nice explanation of how hash tables work.
